I'm thinking ahead to a trip next August with a Beaverhouse put-in, then into Cirrus to Sue Falls, down to Kasakakwog, then into Quetico Lake and circling back to Beaverhouse and out. My research tells me that it's about 38 miles, the portages (few that they are) are manageable and there are plenty of good to very good campsites to choose from.

NOTE: I will have visited the ranger station in Atikokan, so no trip to the BH ranger station is needed.

Looks like 4-days, 3-nights, or 5-days, 4-nights at most... and it very well could be my first solo in my Wenonah Prism.

Thoughts on the loop? Suggestions?

That's the exact route I took at time of Pagami Creek Fire. My first solo. Only the portage from Cirrus to Kasakakwog is tough at all. I took 5 nights but could have easily been out after 3. Spent last two on Beaverhouse and read a couple books. Plenty of great sites.

Canoe42: "Group solo?"Not out of the question, Dave. I have an annual business event in central Minnesota that takes place in August so I thought, since I was halfway there, I'd bring my Prism and head into Q for a few days. We'll have to talk about it. If not this trip, another one.

I knew there was someone who had taken that route and I thought it was you, but wasn't sure. I might be bouncing some questions off of you, but the route is pretty straightforward. As long as the wind cooperates, right?
